I'm not ready for a relationship
So I just started dating this guy. It's been about two weeks. It was very sudden. He asked me to be his girlfriend with an hours of meeting him and I've never been in a relationship so I thought why not if it doesn't work out then we break up, but I actually really like the guy and I want to work out. He's very sweet and attentive unfortunately he lives three hours away. We met while he was on vacation visiting his family. And I have the wandering feeling to go on hinge or Tinder or hit up one of my old links. I literally feel my finger going to the App Store and I have to stop myself. I buy myself thinking about pass hook ups. I'm not gonna do that. I don't think I have it in me, but I also don't think I have it in me to give up this relationship quite yet because I think I should give it a chance there's a lot that I can learn about myself by being with this man. There's honestly a lot that I could gain in the meantime I just don't know how much longer I can keep this up like yeah I could do it for another month for sure in the hopes that eventually I fall in love with them so I won't want to essentially cheat on him. But he was here for like a week and a half and now he's just g

19F Posting myself on looksmaxxing communities ruined my life
I've always been insecure in my apperance since I was a kid, I was always chubbier than other children my age. I struggled with binge eating/disordered eating for a while and once I graduated high school and started college, end of 2024, I was finally feeling confident and felt happy about myself. I had gained a bit of weight since I went through a breakup and spent a lot of it binge eating, but It was also when I felt the most confident in myself and I finally felt like I was worth people being nice to me or even just being out in public.
That all changed, I was talking to me friend about those looksmaxxing communties or other subreddits where they objectivily rate you. I was in a bit of a depressive episode at the time and I wasn't as happy about myself as I usually were and I posted myself, I didn't tell anybody around me. I just got too curious and I wondered what they would say.
In a matter of minutes my comments were flood with people saying how I was a "3/10, 4/10 if you lost the weight", that my only bet was to "reincarnate", or that I was subhuman. I knew I shouldn't let it get to me, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. My insecurity really hurt me because one of the on
I’m scared of the police where I live.
The police where I live are constantly being arrested themselves, stalking, harassment, even certain crimes involving minors. Now a more, let’s go with “aggressive” police force is around and they don’t get arrested regardless of what crimes they commit, assault or murder, it still leads to nothing. People near me are being imprisoned and forced out of their homes. Our government says it’s only if you commit crimes but the people they attack show differently. I was born here, but I no longer feel safe. I hope I can leave soon.
I feel like I'm fighting tooth and nail to avoid becoming an incel.
God, it's ridiculously hard to try to do anything other than drawing in my sketchbook all day. I feel like a piece of shit, but everything even slightly productive in the real world just gives me the jitters. If I keep at my life in the way I am, I'm actually going to become not much better than an incel. Maybe, I already am... I'm going through multiple job applications and I'm buying groceries for my parents just so I can see the sun at least once a week. Other than that, I don't really know what to do, honestly. I'm probably not going to know what to do ***after*** I get past this either.
I’m gen z and I hate how social media companies have ruined everything
When I was in highschool I often felt like people outside of my friend group didn’t want to have conversations with me. Maybe it’s just me overthinking a couple instances. When Covid happened I went to this highschool and met some old friend. I tried talking to him about literally anything and he didn’t seem to care he was on his phone the whole time, and very unresponsive. I can’t help but feel kids are becoming less interesting and lacking personality because of how much time they spend on their phones rather than having genuine conversations. I have 2 younger sisters and they aren’t “iPad kids” thank god. All this stupid AI stuff there trying to shove down our throats hasn’t benefited me in any way and I don’t know how it’s beneficial at all when you can just look something up on the internet. It really feels like companies nowadays don’t care what they make and as long as they advertise a billion times and make money they will keep making it. It feels like technology has just stopped advancing and now it’s just stupid stuff that’s advertised as the future when really it doesn’t do anything. I hate that meta needs to know every inkling about you they own a lot of social media co
A notification popped up...
So I use instagram on my browser usually so that I don't waste much time scrolling reels on the app. A friend asked me my username and I wanted to recheck it so I opened the site and saw 2 notifications there. One was a follow request and the other was a 'like' on my comment. I opened it. It read, "you're gorgeous." Weird! I don't usually comment. Moreover, it was on a girl's picture I was seeing for the first time. And that too from a different continent. And guess what she was the same girl whose request was there in the notifications. I was very confused. I deleted it. At first, I thought my account must be hacked. Then I searched and found out that this must be a glitch or I might have forgotten it. A glitch, right?
Anybody else experienced this?
